@ryan Fairmount looks great. Love the badge. Not to get nitpicky, but what was Gretel’s thinking behind that big honking word space in the wordmark, I wonder?

@kentlew Thanks! We looked at all the possibilities and opted for the gap. In short: - No width or scale changes mid-wordmark. - No need for various alignments / versions of the wordmark for different applications. - Seemed more intentional to use the letters as they lay as opposed to manipulating them too much. That said, we did go in and make micro width adjustments to glyphs that were in the second line but not first (e.g. the Ms are slightly wider than those of Fairmount Serif proper)
